Hey Greg/L'amour, you guys posting up your full reveals for SDCC anytime soon?

Call em out!!

Anyone figure out any fixes for the stage diving Giant? Between the heat and the tilt he's not safe in my room.

Hey Steve, I think I have but it's going to involve a little drilling and some filling with magic sculpt. I'm going to try in small scale first and then do it to my giant bootleg. The problem is the weakening of the ankles in the heat. It makes the vinyl soft enough to collapse under the weight. I think with proper reinforcement, it can be fixed. Will keep everyone updated.

The M1go giant Kanegon required you to put something heavy in the feet and then fill the legs with something to stiffen it up. They have the same issues of the vinyl not always being strong enough to support it's size. I haven't personally done it, but I think that expanding spray foam will do the trick. I would be careful not to overdue it though 'cuz you could ruin the articulation I'm sure.

That's what I was thinking too! Didn't know insulation spray foam was stiff enough but I guess it is. Just have to heat up the feet and slightly bend it back to position before spraying the foam I guess. May try that also.

That stuff expands like crazy and is really hard once dried. Any time I've used it in a construction project I've always over done it by about 50%.

PK might have some pointers:

Whaaaat. Is that a header card for the giant Bootleg??

Oh man that would be awesome!!!

I believe that header card is the original artwork for the new Healey x Mishka release, Cave Guard! Like the Ghroul, but bigger, badder and stronger! And I believe its vinyl too!

And wait till you see the header art for the antique custom Bootleg.

Yes, Walt , you destroyed it as always! Post a shot of it. There's also a Baby Huey somewhere;D (in vinyl). So much goodness this year.

^ AHA! I KNEW IT! Baby Huey HERE I COME!

Joel, is Huey going to be available at SDCC??

the loveable pyro has a shot of it on his flickr....

I'm so glad that Baby Huey is coming to vinyl. Seems like sensible modifications were made to make the mold possible. Finally people will see first hand how bad ass this toy is.

Man I want to see Baby Huey in person. So much detail and that's only the unpainted. Are we going to see any painted Huey's at SDCC?

Congrats on another header Walt! When can you post a shot of that up? There is so much great stuff coming out, Baby Huey is awesome!!!

That Baby Huey is great and one must love that unpainted blue!

PHANTOM BOOTLEG!




Bootleg of a Bootleg, if you will. L'amour had a great idea to pay tribute to, and put me on the hunt to find its origins. And if you don't know the reference, well that is your homework to do for this weekend, hahaha.
Simple, easy, fun. This was one of my favorite headers to put together.

I thought the SDCC bootleg came with three heads. Is it just the skull head or have the other two not been shown yet?

Based off of the toy the Obake dog was based off? The weird snoopy skull thing?

that beach ball better be sofubi, effers, or else.

Great work guys, can't wait to get one.

612Dude! You get an A+!!!
